Daniel Oss is the man. This long time World Tour professional raced on some of the biggest teams alongside some of the biggest names in the sport. From Liquigas to BMC to Bora-Hansgrohe to TotalEnergies, he was easy to pick out from the bunch with his rock-star long hair.

Episode 131: Geerike "Gee" Schreurs -- Pro Soigneur Turned Pro Cyclist 1:07:01

2M ago1:07:01

1:07:01

Many people who end up among the infrastructure of cycling begin as cyclists themselves. If they make it to the professional ranks, they often segue to professional cycling as mechanics, team directors, team managers, or soigneurs. It's rare that the timetable is reverse and they go from a professional soigneur to a professional cyclist, but that's…

Episode 127: Noah Havlik -- He Beach-Cruised the MidSouth! 53:26

4M ago53:26

53:26

This conversation started with a social media post. Namely, this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/C40wy-_Oh5Z/?img_index=1 You could argue that Noah is not your average MidSouth competitor, unless it's argued that he's the exact, prototypical MidSouth competitor. On a lark, Noah hatched the idea of doing MidSouth on a $2 per day beach cruiser renta…

Derek Teel is on the podcast today. His strength training platform, Dialed Health, has become the gold standard among amateurs and pro cyclists alike. His following is prolific at @DialedHealth which perhaps has helped echo the story he's going to tell on today's episode of being hit by a car at 65mph and left for dead. This is a heart-wrenching st…

Episode 124: Neilson Powless -- Professional Cyclist 1:00:59

1:00:59

Neilson Powless is just getting warmed up. His rise through the sport starts decades ago, when he and his sister Shayna were playing games secretly engineered by their parents to help encourage their endurance engines. Winning the XTerra World Championships in 2012, for example, indirectly shuttled him to picking up wins in the World Tour today. Re…

Episode 120: Tanner Putt -- Director of Road, USACycling 57:29

9M ago57:29

57:29

Tanner Putt has spent the majority of his life spent in cycling. I’ve known him as a bike racer — a very successful one in the u23 and domestic scene, especially.

That person is the very affable Matt Beers. On the heels of his recent sprint to second place at the inaugural Little Sugar in Arkansas, Matt is lining up for the season fin…

Ben Delany has a career in cycling media to his name. He's seen the sport soar, he's been there during troubled times, and he's excited to break out on his own and expand what cycling media is.

Episode 116: Alexey Vermeulen -- Gravel Racer and so much more 1:05:39

11M ago1:05:39

After an impressive 2nd at Leadville and 3rd at SBT, he's only whet his appetite for an action packed end of the year. We caught up on the eve of SBTGRVL and had this terrific conversation about the state of th…
